Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 1015 - 1000: The Frightened Black Jiao
In the dark void, Shi Feng, sensing the fluctuations, slowly opened his eyes and gazed forward.
Gradually, a shadow emerged in front of Shi Feng, it was the Black Robed Man returning.
However, the Black Robed Man returned alone. The old crone, who had left with her three days ago, did not appear together.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." The Black Robe spoke to Shi Feng. The voice had once again turned into that of an old, hoarse man.
Hearing this voice from the Black Robe, Shi Feng shook his head with a smile, saying, "I thought that between us, we're as good as life and death comrades, continuing the road ahead together, and I wouldn't have to hear that creepy old man's voice from you anymore."
"My voice has always been like this, it's natural!" The Black Robe replied, still using the old man's voice.
"Alright then! If you want it so, let it be so naturally!" Shi Feng said, as he slowly stretched his cross-legged figure in this void. Then, he spoke to the Black Robe, "Can we continue on our journey now?"
Now that the Black Robe had returned, it seemed she had received the old crone's inheritance during these three days.
As he spoke, Shi Feng's gaze glanced at the pond below, especially at the Yin Yang Spring Water within it.
Ever since that Tribulation Thunder, the old crone seemed to hold a grudge against him. After he wiped out those people with the Black Thunder Sea and spoke to her, she simply ignored him.
As if he owed her quite a lot of money.
Since the old crone bore a grudge against him, he naturally wouldn't have the fortune to enjoy the Yin Yang Spring Water later.
He indeed felt it was a great pity in his heart.
"Mm!" After hearing Shi Feng's words, the Black Robe nodded slightly. Then, she spoke:
"However, from Grandma's words, I learned that this Ancient Relics contains many powerful beings. Some are even close to the True God level! If we delve deeper into these Ancient Relics, the path ahead might be ten times, or even a hundred times more dangerous than before!"
"What, are you planning to back out?" Shi Feng asked her upon hearing the Black Robe's words.
"Me? Of course not!" The Black Robe responded with full determination and continued, "I'm reminding you! If you choose to turn back now, it's still not too late!"
"Haha, turn back?" Hearing the Black Robe, Shi Feng revealed a smile as if he had heard a great joke, and said, "If I were scared back by your words like this? How would I charge towards a stronger realm in the future! How could I overlook this Wilderness Continent of yours!"
"Overlook our Wilderness Continent!"
Shi Feng's last sentence was full of arrogance, even causing the Black Robe to exclaim in surprise at his proud words.
Then, the Black Robe said, "It seems you truly don't know how vast our Wilderness Continent is! You don't know how strong the powers in our Wilderness Continent are!
The Great Wilderness where we were before is but a part of the Wilderness Continent. We don't know how many such Great Wilderness exist on our Wilderness Continent. Moreover, I've heard that in other Great Wilderness areas, there are immensely powerful figures we can't even imagine, to the point where Gongsun Taiyin would be no match against them."
"The reason I previously couldn't step into the Demigod Realm was that I was on Tianheng Continent, never seeing Demigod Power, always being a frog at the bottom of a well. As long as you give me enough time, I can certainly reach the realms others can achieve, maybe even surpass everyone."
Shi Feng's face showed full determination as he spoke confidently.
At this moment, as the Black Robe looked at Shi Feng, seeing his earnest and determined expression, a fleeting illusion occurred. She truly seemed to see this figure standing proudly in mid-air, overlooking the entire Wilderness Continent.
Then, the Black Robe quickly snapped back to reality, swiftly casting that illusion aside, once again fixing her gaze on Shi Feng, on that young, yet extraordinary-looking face.
For a moment, the Black Robe did not say anything else. Until a while later, the Black Robe spoke: "Let's go! Grandma has told me of a path in this forest; as long as we follow this path, we won't encounter any danger before we leave this forest."
"Mm! Let's go!" Shi Feng nodded slightly after hearing the Black Robe.
Immediately, he and the Black Robe's figures simultaneously flickered, disappearing from this void.
..
"Roar! Roar roar roar roar! Roar!" In the eerie haunted forest, bursts of violent roars continuously rang out.
Three days had passed, it had been three days in this Ghost Forest. The Black Jiao and his Barbaric Demon Army had not seen a trace of anyone, nor found any sign of Tribulation Thunder.
The Black Jiao even sent Barbaric Demons to scout, but those dispatched seemed to have been engulfed by this dark forest, never returning.
"Damn it! Is this king supposed to be trapped in this damned place and wait for death for eternity?" The Black Jiao furiously and hideously roared.
The gigantic black dragon's body suddenly moved, darting forward swiftly, knocking over one bizarre tree after another as it charged on.
This dark forest once again turned chaotic, accompanied by incessant roaring sounds.
Just then, the Black Jiao, swiftly charging forward, suddenly saw a figure appear in the distance ahead, indeed a human figure!
Though the person was only around a meter tall, looking like an incredibly old crone.
Upon seeing the crone, the Black Jiao's swift body impulsively accelerated, its dragon mouth opened wide, shouting towards the presence with majesty, "Old crone! This king asks you, you.."
When the Black Jiao uttered "you," its gigantic rushing body suddenly halted because the old crone had already turned towards it, her old face staring at it.
Stared at by the crone, who was merely a meter tall, the Black Jiao immediately felt as if it were being watched by an ancient, mighty Fierce Beast. The eyes on that old face were like swords, making the Black Jiao feel as though its entire body was being pierced, feeling cold all over.
The Black Jiao realized it had kicked a steel plate this time. In such an eerie haunted forest, encountering such an eerie crone, it should have realized things were not simple!
"Scram!" Immediately, a cold shout echoed from the crone's mouth.
Upon hearing the word "scram," the Black Jiao felt almost relieved, its black dragon head constantly nodding towards the crone, speaking in human language, "Yes yes! Scram! I'll scram! I'll scram right away!"
Suddenly, the gigantic black dragon body rapidly spun around, glancing at the densely charging Barbaric Demon Army, the Black Jiao immediately let out a roar: "Scram! All of you scram back! Scram back!"
